OK, Glad you found the right model number :) the driver installation for that printer on Linux is located at: https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/color-laser/mf628cw?tab=drivers#Z7_MQH8HIC0L88RB0AMD0F1Q42K25 I've downloaded it just to look at it. After unpacking the .tgz, you'll find what appears to be comprehensive documnetation in a group of html files. open, with your web browser this file: /home/fredex/programs/canon/linux-UFRII-drv-v340-02-usen/Documents/guide-ufr2-3.4xUS/index.html. For Centos you may need to install some additional modules. according to the README file (one level up from the above URL) there are some required packages, and it lists them for you. I'll stop blathering, I'm sure you know how to figure out the steps to get it going. good luck with it!

If I may chip in here: the vuescan software doesn't even see my 35mm slide scanner, which uses an obscure chip from Microdia (USB code 0c45:6353), even though xsane does see it. Unfortunately xsane can't drive the scanner at full resolution so I still need the proprietary driver using a VM, and now that has stopped working as well :-( poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Are you sure it is model mfcxxx, and not some other number? is there a label on the back/side/bottom that gives additional model or serial number info? So, anyway, if you can figure out which of the devices they show matches yours, you can download for free to try it. Also, some scanners/multifunction devices have a USB port, and you can scan stuff on them which will be written to a USB stick inserted into that port.

I have solved the current problem by changing the target idea of how to access the information, but I would still like to be able to get the scanner to work. I have read through the "--help" and the man pages on sane, but couldn't get any progress. It would seem really simple to send a command to a scanner and retrieve at least a bitmap of a document. I guess it is more difficult than that. Maybe I'll take a cut at it once I get a windows system in house and can monitor the exchange.
